7-(1-Acetoxymethylidene)Benzonorbornadiene: A Versatile Reagent for the Synthesis of 7-Formyl and 7-Hydroxymethyl Benzonorbornadienes
7-(1-Acetoxymethylidene)benzonorbornadiene 3, prepared in one step by the addition of benzyne to 6-acetoxyfulvene 2, is hydrolysed in acid solution to form a 3:2-epimeric mixture of syn- and anti- 7-formylbenzonorbornadienes 4 and 5, respectively; the corresponding 7-hydroxymethylbenzonorbornadienes...
